It is approximately a 15-minute walk from the village of Kukuljica. The beach is characterized by its concrete surface, which is ideal for leisurely walks and sunbathing.

One of the unique features of Mala Sabuša Beach is the sea, which is sandy and extremely shallow, making it a perfect spot for children and non-swimmers.
